北美館的大型個展「艾未未˙缺席」的藝術家本人被缺席了,但「艾未未」並未缺席。

艾未未不應該是被放入括號存而不論,或只賦予文化政治的問號乃至符號消費的驚嘆號,

「艾未未」已不是某個人名,而是一種方法,一種在此時此地去愛未來的行動方式。

艾未未被放入引號之中,成為國際媒體的焦點,被各個文化領域所引述,儼然成為一個國際討論平台,那麼,繼TCAC四月活動之後,這次接著要問:在世界/中國/台灣/台北的此時此地,誰怕艾未未?

 

In the large solo exhibition of “Ai Weiwei: Absense” in Taipei Fine Arts Museum, the artist himself is made absent, but “Ai Weiwei” is not absent.

Ai Weiwei should not be parenthesized without being discussed or only be endowed with a political and cultural question mark, even an exclamation mark of symbolic consumption.

“Ai Weiwei” is no longer a name of a person, but a method, an activistic way of loving future here and now.

Ai Weiwei in parenthesis has been the focus of international media, being quoted by various cultural fields and apparently becoming a platform of international discussion. Then, after the April Event at TCAC, we want to ask: who’s afraid of Ai Weiwei in the world, in China, in Taiwan, and in Taipei, here and now.
